More Scenes from AFA 09 !
I’ve uploaded various events and scenes from Anime Fest Asia 2009. On the first day of the AFA 09, cosplayers from Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand vie against each other to win the title of the Best Cosplayer in the South East Asian region. Both the Best Cosplay title and Special Prize went to team 00 Emotion from Singapore who cosplayed as a 1/10 scale of Gundam 00 Raiser with Marina Ismail acting out a scene from the series. Their performance on stage was very well executed especially the last scene with the Trans Am effect ! Check out the gallery for the full coverage.

And lastly we have photos of the booths around the exhibition area. Above is the Moe Moe Kyun Maid Cafe where waitresses dressed up as super kawaii maids serve the guests. Sadly no photography were allowed in their premises but as a customer I was allowed to have a picture taken with one of the maids. You can check out more Moe Moe photos from Danny Choo’s site.
